I hope some of you can help me with experience/suggestions for waterproofing the system.
I am leaning towards a combination of:
- waterproofing agent in the concrete
- waterproofing paint on top of that.
Check out polyurea. You would have to get a professional to spray it on. It can be used in potable water applications, fish tanks, bridge abutments, hulls of speed boats, etc. I'm sure you can find it in your country. Here's a couple websites in the US.

It's actually used in ponds and pools. Here's the website of a contractor who applies it:
